Free guide and webinar on disinvestment from fossil fuels.

Operation Noah has published a ‘how to’ guide for local churches on divestment and reinvestment, which has just been published, and is holding a webinar entitled ‘Faith and the Global Divestment Mobilisation’.

This guide explains how local churches can divest from fossil fuels and reinvest for a brighter future. Your church can make a divestment commitment whether it holds investments or just has a bank account!

The ‘how to’ guide is available on Operation Noah’s Bright Now website here.

The faith community has played a leading role in the divestment movement, with hundreds of faith institutions around the world divesting and lending a strong moral voice to the case against the fossil fuel industry.

Tune in to our online talk ‘Faith and the Global Divestment Mobilisation’ to hear from UK faith campaigners about what they’re organising for the Global Divestment Mobilisation on 5th – 13th May and how you can take part in your faith community.

Speakers include:

Rev Rachel Mash, Environmental Coordinator for Anglican Church of Southern Africa, talking about climate impacts in Africa, and why the Anglican Church of Southern Africa committed to divest.

Rev Alex Mabbs, Minister at Brighthelm United Reformed Church, tells the story of getting the first church divestment commitment in the UK.

James Buchanan, Operation Noah, talks about the Bright Now campaign, the new ‘Divest your Church’ how to guide and the ways the Christian community is mobilising.

Fatima El-Meeyuf, MADE (Muslim Action for Development and Environment) talks about the newly forming Muslim divestment campaign and their launch plans for the Global Divestment Mobilisation.

Daniel Voskoboynik, Oil Vay, talks about their work on fossil fuel divestment in the Jewish community and their plans for Global Divestment Mobilisation focusing on climate impacts.

Luke Harman, Christian Aid will talk about how the ‘Big Shift’ campaign is mobilising churches to get their banks to divest from fossil fuels, including bank branch visits from church groups during the Global Divestment Mobilisation.
